Ok.

Definitely!

the Sage references. Currently there is also

annoyance...
Yup. Do you mind opening a ticket for this?

reference cards, primers, and thematic tutorials:

> I only see primers and thematic tutorials. Is this old language?
No it's new language :-) There are a bunch of demos in the
Sage-Combinat queue. I commented it out for later.
> With respect to the iteration tutorial, on request of nthiery
höchstpersönlich! Mostly very minor English stuff.
> * What is the plural of "syntax"? I would use "syntaxes" as a common
variant.
I changed this to "idioms" :-)
> * An ''extremely'' useful addition is

Added.
> The syntax has to be perfect. Does this work for ones with also `for
j in range(10)` and so forth?
I am not sure what you mean here.
> What happens if you try to continue the iterator now? I think that
would be useful to warn folks.
Done!
> * Show this with an example and `timeit` or something. Maybe untested.
> {{{
> Using a list would be much slower here:

Done.
> * Make sure these are marked ` # not tested`!
> {{{
> sage: for p in Partitions(): print p
> sage: for p in Primes(): print p
> }}}
Better be indeed :-) Done!
> * Finally, I think that something about iterables should mention `zip`
and friends. Or is that in a previous tutorial?
It is!
> Overall I like it, though!
